auto-set volume control for headphones - Windows Mobile Software Development

Ive done some searching and cant find anything, but I know it must be out there.
Is there some software that will automatically set the volume down when I plug in a headset then raise it back up when I unplug the headset.
An icon appears on the screen designating that I am using a headset, I wouldnt think it would be that hard for the volume to remember its setting.

Any luck on this?

REQUEST - Volume Control

Ive been searching everywhere for this but either nobody has thorght about it or its not possible.
with my Touch HD the volume is far to loud to listen to music as background music or through earphones and the HTC volume control step size for the volumes is too big. its either off, medium, loud or very loud!
the default WM6.1 control is even worse!
i know that you can use your finger to adjust the HTC volume control but this still isnt sensitive enough for me.
and i also know that it is possible to adjust the volume through tweak HD or advanced config. only problem with that is that I want to be able to chose to listen to very quite music or turn it up very loud without having to go through one of those settings.
so i was wondering if anybody could make a program that either has a large step size or a user defined step size for the volume and that is activated/volume through the volume buttons.
Thanks!
P.S sorry if this is in the wrong section or if there is a requests thread but i couldnt find it.
Ok i havnt found exactly what i wanted but i did find this:
http://handheld.softpedia.com/progDownload/Volume-Control-Download-35536.html
this is an aplication which lets you choose the volume with 100 steps. and it works from the system volume so using somthing like nitrogen or media player there is another 100 steps giving me 10000 steps haha
the bad points are that you must go into filemanager and manualy start it. and even then it does not work with the volume buttons.
(if anyone knows of a way to start this when powering on the device that could be useful!)
its good but not ideal.
if anyone else can come up with somthing better speak up!
create a shortcut to the exe and add it to /device/windows/startup ?
Yep, would be nice if the volume rocker can use this little tool.
Hello,
Any news on that topic ?
Thanks
I have the same problem, i think the stepsize can be changed in the registry but i dont know where i could find this.
Just to let you know the Volume rocker switch adjusts sound in 3 steps at a time. But during music play back you can use finger or stylus to adjust volume bargarph displayed on the htc HD screen in single step and thus volume is more finely controlled. There is no need to make registry changes.
The problem is, if youre using the E100 headset (or just want to press a button in your pocket to adjust volume) it would be nice if it'd adjust 1 step instead of 3 when pressing volup or voldown..
If youre moving and just want to adjust volume its really annoying to get your phone out of your jacket/pocket, pull out your stylus and lower your volume to 1..... might be just me that is a lazybones, but still!
With Good intra headset, even one bar is too much. Is it a WM limitation that the stepsize is that big ?

The actual problem is that 1 bar (out of the 15 available), ie the quietest setting the system is capable of, is TOO loud. I wouldn't dare use headsets at 10 bars (out of 15), the sound level would blow my eardrums out.
What we'd like to do is change the "range" of volume output - so that the output power is a LOT lower at low settings, while remaining loud enough for public broadcast (ie from the speaker on the back) at higher settings.
Anyone?
Same issue here. The minimum volume is still way too high. It's a waste of battery and could hurt your ear if you use in-ear earbuds.

As an addition.... I think this "too much volume" thing is something to do with the HTC TF3D music player itself.
On my (stock Rom) HD - I can listen to the FM radio at "normal" volume levels (ie about halfway up the range), but with the TF3D player - I have to turn it right down again.
Haven't tested it with other players (eg TCPMP).
Another request for a better solution to volume control.

I have the same problem, ever since getting a set of in-ear MM50 (Sennheiser).
Too loud!
Any ideas?

You may edit the registry file:
Local_machine\software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\SavedHand SetVolume
Change DWORD to 0
(soft-reset not needed)
plug in the headphone and adjust the system volume (press the volume button on side of the device and adjust the volume that is most soothing through the headset and it will memorize it! Once you pull out the headset the volume through the system speaker will be amplified as set by step 2 below. Plugin the headset again and the vol. will revert back to the headset volume level that you adjusted above).
You can always increase or decrease headset volume using the volume switch from this point and this new level you used is memorized during next headset insertion and automatically adjusted.
Step2,
This will tweak the volume that you want when headset is not plugged in.
But remember this will be the maximum volume through the speaker and you can only decrease it using the device volume button, not increase it.
You may have to experiment a few times until you get to a satisfactory volume level (don't forget to soft-reset after tweaking each time. I found 40 to be quite reasonable.
Local_machine\software\HTC\AudioManger_eng\Config\ music_player_volumn
Change the DWORD to 10 (you may have to adjust it to suit the volume you want when the headset is unplugged. In fact 10 is too low and I found 40 to be more reasonable) or lower(I think even 10 is too low!) and soft-reset the device.
the music will become lighter in the TouchFLO3D music player
I did both of the above steps and it solved the problem dramatically! It works even if you are using other software players(windows media player etc)

i just proud of my name is being posted by other
None of these thins work with noise isolating headphones where 1 bar is too loud. As soon as the phone starts to ring you are deafened as the volum is A LOT LOUDER than the music. I have the same problem with WMP as I can set a low volume in system, 3 bars, and 15-40% in WMP or an other program and the music is fine but as soon as the phone rings it absolutely kills!
man if someone solves this they'll make a few insta-friends !
We need a fix.
Many this app will help some, if not all of you !
It's a freeware developed by a member of this forum and it serves the simple purpose of allowing to set "volume steps" and replacing the default volume window. It's brilliant.
Work is still in progress, but it's already a must have at this point

Wired headset profile (change volume/ring when unplugging)

Hi,
I can't seem to find a simple solution for this.
I usually use my phone in vibrate mode(Rings volume 0%, System volume 0%, ring type vibrate)
but i would like a simple solution for this:
- when I plug in my wired headset i want to set the ring volume to 20%, system volume 20%, and ring type from vibrate to a ringtone
- when i unplug the headset I want the device to immediately go back to ring volume 0%, system 0%, and ringtype: vibrate (especially beacuse if I listen to music on headset, and accidentally pull it out, it'll play that music through the speaker very loud)
So is there a simple solution for this? Maybe a simple profile changer or something? I know there is PhoneAlarm and other programs but they're not free and they can do just too much thing for my simple need.
Thx.
did you find anything, looking for exact same think.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm still looking for something that does exactly this. I've found apps that can change the state when I plug the headphones, but nothing for when I unplug them.
Any ideas out there?

[Q] Volume adjustment does not work for headset

I am not sure what happened. I uninstalled some programs (ATK, Robo Defense, etc.) and suddenly the volume when headset is plugged cannot be adjusted. The screen slider moves accordingly without changing the volume in the headset. It works normally without the headset though. I am still using the original OTA 2.36 from Sprint.
Does anyone know how to fix it?

Any app that locks volumes?

Everytime I disconnect my phone from bluetooth in my car, the bluetooth volume drops by 50%. So next time when I get in my car and try to listen to my music, its way too low to hear. So I have to dig my phone out of my pocket without causing an accident to turn the volume up. Its been this way on every leak so far up to IMM76K, and every ROM Ive tried, too. So any apps out there to lock volumes and keep it there? Ive tried volume control+ with no luck.

Headset Audio goes back to middle

Ok, so when I turn up the volume all the way when I have my headset plugged into my radio, then unplug it, and plug it back in, it goes back to the middle level. Anyone know how to stop this from happening. I think it has something to do with the soundalive maybe? Just dont know how to change the setting.
as i know u can't
and it's safety feature for ur ears :laugh:
